This World AIDS Day, we remember, we recommit, and we reflect.
We remember every life lost to HIV/AIDS. We honor the resilience of those living with the virus and the unwavering dedication of caregivers, health workers, and communities.
And we reflect on the progress made through science, solidarity, and sustained action. The finish line is in sight, but we must accelerate our pace.
Letโs renew our collective promise: to remember, to support, and to act until AIDS is ended, everywhere.
#WorldAIDSDay2025
Adolescent girls deserve to learn, create & thrive online. Yet digital violence has become so common that many expect it.
We need safe, ethical & rights-based digital spaces where technology empowers, not harms, women and girls.

Congratulations to Ethiopia on being endorsed to host the Conference of parties of
the United Nations framework convention on climate change COP32 in 2027. Uganda as Chair of Subsidiary body on scientific and technological advice (SBSTSA) and a member of the bureau strongly supported Ethiopia's candidature and look forward to working together on the African COP. @TayeAtske@PMEthiopia@StateHouseUg@_AfricanUnion
Strong communication builds stronger impact.
We spent the day with our implementing partners exploring how to tell better stories, through photography, branding, & the power of AI. ๐ก๐ธ๐ฌ
Together, weโre shaping stories that inspire change.
11,500 children received school bags in Tigray thanks to @eu_echo.
Watch how this support is helping displaced children restart their education and rebuild their futures.
๐ช๐น is proud to host the 3rd Pan African Surgical Healthcare Forum in our beautiful capital, Addis Ababa.
This gathering has brought together over 300 participants from 47 countries, united by a common vision to expand access to safe and affordable surgical care across Africa.
The discussions center on equity in the health workforce, innovation and best practices, sustainability and legacy, and on addressing the urgent reality that nearly 93 percent of people in sub Saharan Africa still lack access to essential surgical care.
My sincere appreciation to the PASHeF Secretariat and all partners whose tireless efforts have made this important convening possible.
Together, we are working toward an ๐ where surgical care is within reach for every person, everywhere.
Honored to be recognized by the @FMoHealth for our contribution to the success of the 6th Adolescent and Youth Health Forum! @dereje_dugumaMD@MekdesDaba
It gives me great pleasure to share that ๐ช๐น has achieved Maturity Level 3 in medicines regulation, as recognized by the World Health Organization.
Reaching this level is more than a technical achievement. It strengthens public confidence, enhances our ability to respond to health threats, and brings us closer to the resilient health system our communities deserve. It also aligns closely with Ethiopiaโs agenda for local manufacturing of medicines and vaccines, ensuring sustainable access and self-reliance.
This milestone serves as a testament to the collective action and hard work of @ EFDA and our partners, who together have strengthened the systems that guarantee the quality, safety, and effectiveness of medical products in our country.
We will continue to build on this progress, guided by our unwavering commitment to protect the health and wellbeing of our communities.
